Can I easily install 81 parts on my 80? There is no grille parts for an 80. I actually like the 81 better but was wondering how different they are. Thanks.

They'll go on the 80 header panel.

The headlamp bezel accent stripe is different, and the park lamps have a different pattern on the lens, but are the same size. As far as I know, side markers are the same...grille difference is obvious.

There has been mention of having to move the nylon screw grommet to accommodate the minor differences, but i do not have first-hand experience with that aspect.
